stically. His first case was before
justice of marked morality, who was
extremely harsh with criminals. The
weakness of the old Puritan was his
generation for veterans of the war,
all of whom he esteemed as unre.
warded heroes. McCallum had fought
four years. His client was a thief.

The man had stolen cow, killed

really suffering for the necessaries of
life. The prosecution. with long
line of witnesses, had made out a
perfect case, and the brow of the jus.
tice was draped in ominous frowns

latter did as directed by his attorney,
concealing nothing-frOm the almost
starving condition of his wife and
family to the dressing of the stolen
beef.

My client is guilty. He has hidden
nothing from this court. 1t is the
first time he ever transgressed the
laws. He was inspired to do wrong
by that instinct which we even adj
mire in brutes." Then, turning to
the prisoner as if the fact had nearly

Yes, SIR"
The prosecution at this point saw
the way the case was drifting and
attempted to ridicule the "old-soldier

named if.
The effect on the old justice was to
arouse all his loyalty and indigna-
ton. Enough of this" said he.

Hysteria and Mesmerlsm.

In these days when mesmeric hys.
teric and other pathological or
psychological phenomena are made
to play so large a part in fiction, it
must be cOnsOling to the practical
mind to find them for once connected
with fact. The chief French surgeons
and medical professors have for some
time been careful y studying the
effects of mesmerism on the female
patients of the Salpetriere hospital,
and M. Bakinski, clinical surgeon
of that establishment, has just effec-
ted series of experiments, the re-
suits of which wouldseem to open up
new future for medical science. M.
Bahnski tried to prove that certain
hysterical symptoms could be trans
ferred by the aid of the magnet from
one patient to another. He took two
subjects, one dumb woman afflicted
with hysteria, and the other a female
who was in state of hypnotic trance.
A screen was placed between the two,
and the hysterical woman was then
put under the influence of a strong
magnet. After a few. moments she
was rendered dumb. while speech
was suddenly restored to the other.
M. Babinski also effected temporary
cures of paralysis in the same man
uer. Luckily for his healthier pa
tients, however, their borrowed pains
and symptoms did not last long.

This question has puzzled all the
physiologists who haye given it any
amount of thought. Not only are
human beings LACK or dark in hot
climates, hut other resembling ami

celebrated experiment of placing
pieces of different colored cloth on the
snow while the sun was shining and
Observing the depth to which they

trates this very strikingly.
According to this black skin

the fierce radiation of the tropical
sun. Many speculations. some rather
far-fetched and pedantic. have been
offered to account for this apparent
paradox; but the only satisfactory
one 1 have met with was suggested
lately by correspondent to Nature
He states good reasons for believing
that the penetration of light through
the skin to the internal organs of the
body is injurious, and he further sug
gests that such penetration may &C.
cur to considerable extent unless
special provision is made against it.
One of my schoolboy experiments
was to shut myself up in window

freely exposed to the sun, and then
place my hand over the keyhole or
crevice of the door. Sufficient light
passed through to illuminate my
hand. especially the fingers, and

therefore can not say whether it is

We know that sunlight has consid
cradle chemical energy and also that
sunstroKe, to which light complex
toned people are especially liable. is
more dependent on light than on
mere temperature; and, such being
the case, the value of an effective veil
or screen extending over the whole
body may be very great, even though
accompanied with considerable alb.

shading effect of the blackness is. in
fact, due to the conversion of light

of its editorial utterances There is probably
no newspaper in the United States whose
opinion carries more weight or whose intlu-

fact upon which IT. may justly pride itself
as the legitimate result of painstaking care
in the preparation OF all matte admi ted 10

WHAT'S IN A. NAME?
Two Improvement Associations
Unite Under New Title.


A joint meeting of the West Seventh
Street Citizens union and the West
Seventh Street Mutual Improvement as
ISOLATION was held last evening at the
A: o. U. W. hall. corner of West
Seventh and Bay streets. A short
meeting of the first named
union was held first, at which the
minutes of the last meeting were ap-
proved, after which the union was dis
solved and those present proceeded to
the organization of new associations
Beriah Magoffin was made temporary
chairman, and committees on perma-
nent organization, credentials and con-
Stitution and bylaws were appointed.
A recess was taken to give the commit
tees time to formulate reports.
The committee on permanent
organization reported thai they
Seventh Street District Citizens
union" as the name for the association.
Here division occurred, some favor
ing the name, others regarding West
Seventh street as an Opprobrious cpl
tibet, and they were in favor of calling
it the Fifth Ward union" This name
met with considerable opposition, and
finally compromise was affected by
adopting the name "West Seventh
Street District union.' The committee
ON credentials reported IT'S members of
the two associations in good standing.
The two presidents of the old associa-
tons were made honorary presidents
of the new organization, after which the
following permanent officers were
elected: President, James Cleary; vice
president, j. j. Ellis; secretary, Harvey
Blaisdell; treasurer, Henry Lauer. A
special meeting will be held next Tues
day night to hear the report of the COM
mittee on constitution and bylaws.

SUPPRESS ROULANGER.

1t looks very much as though the
question of war between France and
Germany is to be determined by the
amount of power which the fiery Gen.
BoULANGER succeeds in obtaining in the
French government. If he is effectu-
ally squelched, peace is assured; if he is
allowed to gain the mastery in the cab
met, war is pretty sure to follow.
The French are an impulsive people,
inclined to respond to the influence of
momentary emotion, and little disposed
to weigh the consequences. 1t is unde-
niable, too, that the regard in which
they hold their national honor is only
equaled by the hatred borne by them to-
ward Germany. They have, therefore,
worked themselves up to an explosive
state, where simply spark is needed
To cause catastrophe, and Gen. BoU-
BoULANGER, it is understood, is
quite ready to fire the mine.
Not needing, or for the moment forget
ting the horrors of war, the French are
very willing, since their patriotism has
been appealed to, to again plunge into
BATTLE, and with BoULANGER in the
ascendant they will surely have the
opportunity.
EThere is really no matter of conten-
ton between the two nations sufficient
to warrant war, and it would be an I'M
speakable misfortune for France,
whether she might be victor or van
pushed, overloaded with debt as she is,
to again engage in costly and useless
conflict, Fortunately there are cooler
heads than BoULANGER's in the French
government, and these forsee that the

THE TEACHERS LOT.
'Tis now the boy in school

TITS now the boy in school
Doth hate the teachers rule,
And think of little else than outdoor fun;
And there is cause to fear,
From all that one can hear,
The teachers lot is not happy one.
When in the afternoon
The giddy circus tune
Is heard. and all the scholars want to run;
When the calliope doth sound,
And the monkey go around,
The teachers lot is not happy one.
When in distant field
Boys see the batters WELD
Their little bats, and for the bases run;
And when they fret and pout,
And wish that school were out,
The teachers lots most unhappy one.
And when they think how fine
'Twould be, with hook and line,
To sit and fish beneath the nice, warm sun
Full well do l know then,
And say it now again,
They make the teachers lot no happy one

RAILROAD MATTERS.
COMING OUT HERE.
The President OF the Northern Pa
cific to Visit st. Paul.

4hC Il EtSIueIlt VI the Northern Ia.
cific to Visit st. Paul.
Mr.. Harris, president of the Northern
Pacific road, was expected to leave New
York either last night after the close of
the meeting of the board of directors,
held in New York yesterday, or to-day,
to come to st. Paul, arriving here some
time this week. 1t was also stated that
several of the acting directors of the
road would either accompany him or
reach st. Paul few days after his ar
rival. The fact of his coming has
started anew all the reports in regard to
changes to be made in the officers of the
road at st. Paul, and the streets yester-
day were quite full of reports. One of
the principal rumors was that the pres-
dent and directors will act upon any
designations that may have been
rendered heretofore, upon which action
may have been suspended or delayed.
Some railroad men even go so far as to
name the heads that will be found in
the basket in few days. So far as this
is concerned it is not at all probable that
the best Informed railroad men outside
OF the Northern Pacific road really
know anything about what changes
Will be made, or whether any at all will
be made. Everybody says something is
10 be done and that is really all they
know
